1. the fact that i could wake up at 7 when school started at 7.30 because school was right next door.
2. well, back then, topping the class was a breeze. enough said.
3. fooling around with the kids younger than me and messing with their heads. like teaching them all the wrong things haha. how innocent.
4. no boy problems. gah.

"This morning, my friend sent me a post which he encountered at one of the feedback websites... it's just amazing how some people can be... the moderator has deleted the post, but nonetheless, many has seen it. i just thought i'll share with you, what the "elite" of singapore thinks about poly students... just really saddening.

Look at the post by "Anonymous" on 23/06/2005 at 01:45:16AM... it should be the most recent post or else the moderator had already deleted the post

I refer to this issue and would like to offer my opinions.
Coming from a top jc in Singapore and studying at NUS, I cannot help it but really have to laugh at my fellow countrymen.
Many of those poly students who cannot get into local universities easily get 2nd upper or 1st class honours from overseas universities. These people may then pursue a PhD and end up as professors at NTU and NUS.
How can our universities be world-class when we have a bunch of 2nd class citizens kidding themselves as "professors". Hello! Wake up!
Poly students should be banned from further studies. NTU and NUS should only be reserved for the brightest jc students and we together with the foreigners will form the elite of Singapore!
I seriously hate those poly students.... they even have problems getting their Bachelors... do PhD? Don't make me laugh!"let me analyse this person's so-called opinions.
1.
...bunch of 2nd class citizens...what makes a second-class citizen? one who has not been to a jc? one who pursues their studies overseas? or some pathetic bastard who can't even leave his name while he attacks people who are weaker - i use
weaker, not lower-class, than him? how can he feel that he is so
right in calling poly students second-class? he probably does not know that there are many poly students who become successful people even though they did not make the cut for admission into local universities. and then, my dear friend, what would you call those from jcs who choose to study overseas, like those poly students? or those from jcs who cannot make the cut for local universities? are they second-class citizens as well? you, my friend, are terribly wrong.
the fact that they can go on to foreign universities(with much higher standards than our local universities, i presume, seeing you pointedly said that our universities are not world-class), the fact that they can get 2nd upper or first class honors, shows that they have enourmous potential. and the fact that they can come back to singapore and pursue a phd.. doesn't that tell you something? what makes you think that they can 'easily' get the honors?
2.
...end up as professors at NTU and NUS.the fact that they are qualified to be professors says a lot. fullstop.
3.
poly students should be banned from further studies.so where would that leave them? dear anonymous contradicts himself in this way by saying that he has no respect for the poly students who further their studies overseas, then says that they should not be even given a chance for admission into local universities. then what should the poly students do? why don't you offer some constructive comments instead of shooting your mouth off, dear anonymous.
4.
NTU and NUS should only be reserved for the brightest jc students and we together with the foreigners will form the elite of Singapore!so he's against singaporean students studying overseas but he's okay with the giant influx of foreign students coming to study in singapore? and he's okay with letting the so-called 'elite' class consist of people who study here, leave singapore and go back to where they came from? in other words, his 'elite' class consists of only the singaporean jc students. let me tell you something, friend.. jc isn't everything. jc doesn't gurantee you a comfortable life, cars, houses, maids-in-waiting.. no such thing. you choose where you want to study, if you make it, good, if not, look for other alternatives, finish studying, get out there and get a job. same as everyone else. and just because you studied in nus doesn't mean you boss isn't going to treat you like shit on your first day, or on your days to come. just because you studied in nus doesn't mean you're more impressive than someone who studied overseas. a university is still a university. at the end of the day, you still get the cert. if you got your cert in nus, and xyz got their cert in abc university, it won't make a difference because it's still a university cert.
..and you have no right to hate the poly students. what have they done to you man. you coming from a 'top jc' doesn't give you the right to critisize others. doesn't give you a right to say what should or should not be done. let's wait till you're the next prime minister, then we'll talk. even though you're in nus, or came from a top jc, this post clearly shows that you don't use your brain enough before opening your mouth.
so, now, what will people think of nus students?
bloody f*cked-up arrogant egoistic bunch.and hey, i wouldn't blame them.
jackasses like this one make life terrible for people. i vote we kick him out of singapore and let him be all 'patriotic' somewhere else. gah. one less idiot will make the world a better place for all.
why can't we love everyone?sigh. young people these days.
the memories
so dear
